Potential for White Easter

Long-range forecasts are predicting another Siberian chill dubbed Beast from the East Part II or the Mini Beast, is ready to grip the country, with cold weather this weekend which could continue through to the Easter weekend.

The Weather Channel is reporting that the end of the week could see a chill unfolding with a risk of snow for many parts of the country.

The forecast reads: “This colder spell could last throughout the following week until the holiday, according to some computer models.

“High pressure could build over Scandinavia, increasing the threat of a wintry blast with much colder and drier conditions sweeping in from the east.

“Most forecasts agree that temperatures will be mostly below the average and conditions chilly and unsettled for the end of March and into early April.

“Any late season chill is unlikely to be as severe or intense as the Beast from the East which badly disrupted the UK last month.”
